本研究是一次把中国传统教育与教育现代化最前沿的MOOCs相结合的尝试。我们研究发现,孔夫子式的独立教师模式非常适合利用MOOCs来改造今天的学校。今天的微课程本质上与MOOCs无关,但可以以MOOCs在基础教育发展的名义来获得社会的热烈响应。这次技术和创新驱动的教育变革,碰巧是从MOOCs开始,人们开始用技术和创新来重新审视教育的各个方面。互联网的出现必然导致主流教育市场出现课程市场,大规模地蚕食现有学校课程供给的地位和能力。可汗学院的微课程创新提供了中国先知先觉者又一个撬动体制对课程市场封闭的武器。微课程是一个可以打入目前教育体制这个铁扇公主肚子里的孙行者。未来千千万万的微课程可以组合成成千上百门完全的网络课程,即基础教育的MOOCs。未来,教师运用MOOCs教书,不是讲课而是成为学生的学习"保姆",提供学习过程指导,对学生学习监督,对信息资源进行组织和应用指导。教师、家长经常"见面",讨论学生成长。这就是现代孔夫子。于是,今天意义上的学校没有了,孔夫子又回来了。每个学生都有一个学习导师,或者叫"学习保姆"。这个"学习保姆"陪伴学生参加各种学习活动。学生所修学科类课程都是MOOCs。国家实行"现代孔夫子"认证制度。"现代孔夫子"首先必须按照国家的利益要求来筛选,在办学过程中还要常规性地接受国家的检查监督。未来的学校教育活动都分散在"学习保姆"即"现代孔夫子"和学生们、家庭教育"董事会"以及各种社会化的教育服务机构的活动中。这些人员和机构都可称为微观的教育当事人。这些当事人在国家教育法律法规的约束下活动,经常性的活动也受当地政府的教育行政管理。这个格局就是未来的教育治理。"校中校"提供了从现代学校模式走向未来学校模式?
This study is an attempt to develop a modern Confucian model of schooling armed with e-learning, MOOCs, and micro-lectures. Our research suggests that the Confucius, independent teacher model may inspire today’ s school reform because of MOOCs and micro-lectures. Kahn Academy type micro lecture movement has given the education visionaries in China the chances to gradually change the current school models. With the fast development of MOOCs and micro lectures for students, it will soon become obvious that all sorts of lectures for school students at uniersal education level will be available online, which will make it awkward for a teacher to insist on making lectures in classrooms. In a future school, a teacher will not just lecture, but will be a facilitator who assists, directs, monitors, and consults students for learning. This learning facilitator is quite similar to Confucius two thousand years ago in terms of teaching and learning model. We call such a facilitator a modern Confucius. A modern Confucius should be allowed to establish and administer a school on his own, rather than on capital providers. Parents will empower a modern Confucius to oversee their kids learning with a major schooling base being at one of the student homes rather than at a school campus as it is today. Parents and a modern Confucius will form a board of directors who will be the decision making body of the tiny school with one modern Confucius and a few students. Governments will have the power to accredit modern Confucius, and regulate such modern Confucius schools according to related laws in ideology control, education standards, and some part of curriculum to assure social cohesion. Schools-within-a-school provides a possible path for such a reform to take place gradually and smoothly. Public schools will open their campuses including all the facilities on the campus such as libraries, classrooms, and many of the common courses to the mini-schools run by the modern Confucius. As China becomes a prosperous country, people will
